There is beauty in the smallest place, even the murky puddle that forms under railway bridges or in that dip in the road where you have to cross over as you navigate your way to work, everything holds a story, all holds a sense of currency or bargaining chip to which can be seized upon as an asset, a shield against the feeling of the loneliness that often comes from being found in those conditions in the first place.

There is always a question that hangs over the artist’s head, the answer slipping in and out of conscious as they grapple with their vision and attempt to breathe life into it; a question that might scare them, can possibly be years in the making, how do I capture the intensity and drama of my first success as I sit here and contemplate my second offering to the public.

It takes a special kind of writer to be able to bring to focus the everyday item which we take for granted and then make it part of a story which employs all the finest elements of the dark forces that govern our lives and installs the direction in which a Government and its people are taking.

The urge for revolution is one that is a driving force but one that must not consume all in the rage and the battle, it surely must burn the excess and the ravages of desperation. It should not harm a single breath of the tradition that is built up from the songs and thoughts of the labourer, the seamstress, the cook and the cloth maker, all who have worked in the fields have their songs, all who have manually lifted in the factories and toiled underground have sang to ease the day, and On Clay Hill the sound continues, the song of tradition and ancestors is revered.

A solitary person can still wield influence if their message is pure and will resound with those who seek information from outside the echo bubble that contains the multitude as they sip from the same continuous well of obligated agreement.
A lone figure will always be noticed in a way that a cast of thousands cannot, only becoming a random sea of faces and quickly dismissed from the mind. The story is more direct, and yet add into the equation what mysteries a Trio can attest to, what genius can lay in that power of three, unbreakable, linked by mutual stimulus. A Trio is one that captures the imagination and sees the world for what it is, a place where the charismatic can prosper, especially if their message is one of intense collaboration.

The road calls, history’s future narrative is weaved between petrol pump and the climax of the end of night shadows in which the unsuspecting artist is greeted by the proof that their work moves souls and makes walls tremble in the anticipation of being laid waste.

In its short history the Etihad Stadium, the home of the current Premier League champions Manchester City, has witness despondency and glory in almost equal measure, but perhaps its more defining moments have come in the last ten years, late goals which have described a generation. A single moment in which a crowd hero made his mark for eternity deep into stoppage time and left a commentator breathless, a television hanging on the end of an extended vowel that still raises the hairs on the back of the neck and sends a shiver down the spine of anyone fortunate to have witnessed it take place.

The Manic Street Preachers are no strangers to Liverpool, having the rare bestowment of love given to them by the city for the part they have played in music history but also in the way they have sided with the city in political respects, they have felt the damage to the city and its citizens’ reputations as surely had they plied their early days continually performing at the Lomax or gigging round the town on a daily basis. No strangers, just another opportunity in which to perform in a city they love, and to perform at the home of the European Champions as support to Bon Jovi must surely rank as one of the great moments of the band’s history.
